Same Screens, Smarter Menus: How to Switch to WAND Without Starting Over

WAND Digital14th Oct 2026

Your menu boards are on the wall, wired up and paid for. So why does changing one price still feel like filing paperwork?

For a lot of operators, every menu change turns into a ticket. Tickets move slowly, but you don’t.

Here's the good news: moving to WAND doesn't mean starting over.

Key takeaways

  • Keep your existing screens. WAND runs directly on LG webOS Signage screens, and on most other commercial displays through a WAND media player.
  • Pick your path: WAND media player (Ownership), WAND media player (Media Player for Life), or your own LG Smart Screen, no player needed.
  • WAND offers support from our team in Minnesota, with a real person, 24x7.
  • With Composer, you can make easy menu changes on your own in the WAND portal.

Keep Your Screens: Your Menus Stay Put

Your displays are an investment, and we'd rather build on it than haul it to the curb. Keep your existing screens. WAND runs directly on LG webOS Signage screens, and on most other commercial displays through a WAND media player. We'll confirm what fits your screens before you buy. No tearing down the menu wall. No rebuilding the counter around new hardware. Just your screens, running a menu system you can easily control.

Pick Your Path: Ways to Run WAND on What You Have

WAND media player (Ownership)

Buy the player and own it outright.

WAND media player (Media Player for Life)

Rather not manage player hardware? With Media Player for Life, if your WAND media player fails, WAND ships a replacement. Coverage applies to the media player, not the display.

Your own LG Smart Screen, no player needed

Run WAND directly on compatible LG webOS signage displays (webOS Signage 4.0 or higher), with no external media player. Verify your display model

Support That Picks Up: Real People, Around the Clock

When a board acts up in the middle of the lunch rush, the last thing you need is a ticket sitting in a queue. WAND offers support from our team in Minnesota, with a real person, 24x7. No phone tag that goes nowhere. Just a person who knows restaurant menu boards and is ready to help.

Make Changes Yourself: No Ticket Required

Your menu shouldn't need a help desk to change. With Composer, you can make easy menu changes on your own in the WAND portal.

Running an integrated POS? Our active POS integration automates price changes, so you're not retyping prices in two places. See the POS systems we support.

Tickets move slowly, but you don’t.

What Switching Looks Like

We start by reviewing the screens and hardware you have and recommending a player or Smart Screen path. Your team gets the Composer quick-start, and you can book a training session with our Digital Agency. Then you go live, with our support team a call away whenever you need us.

Switching From Another System: Your Screens Stay

Platforms change. Companies get sold, plans get repriced, and sometimes the business behind your screens changes hands.

When that happens, you shouldn't have to start over. WAND runs every screen and label in your business, and the screens you already own are where the switch begins.

Coming from STRATACACHE or Scala? It's been a year of changes. STRATACACHE's UK businesses entered liquidation in May 2026, and its Canadian unit, X2O Media, entered bankruptcy in March 2026. Scala was sold to Vertiseit. STRATACACHE's CEO has said there's no impact on its US business. If you're weighing your options anyway, your screens can stay on the wall.

Coming from Yodeck? It's a popular self-serve tool, and plans change over time. When you're ready for a managed platform, your screens come with you.

Coming from Raydiant? Raydiant's products and customer contracts moved to Displai in 2025. If you're reviewing your menu platform as part of that change, start with what's already installed.

Running a streaming stick behind the TV? It's an easy way to get a menu on screen. When your screens start doing real work, keep the screen and retire the stick.

Whatever you run today, here's how the switch works:

  • Your screens stay: LG webOS Signage 4.0 and higher and ChromeOS screens run WAND directly as Smart Screens. Any other screen gets a WAND media player. Plan on retiring the old player box; the screen is what stays.
  • Your content, rebuilt: WAND's Digital Agency can rebuild your content, so you don't start from a blank page.
  • You take the wheel in Composer: Your team gets the Composer quick-start, and you can book a training session with our Digital Agency.
  • Players that keep working: With Media Player for Life, if it fails, WAND ships a replacement.
  • Real people, 24x7: Our support team in Minnesota picks up 24x7.

You keep the wall. We handle the move.

The Bottom Line

You already bought the screens. You shouldn't have to buy them again just to get menus you can update on your own schedule. With WAND, you keep your displays, pick the path that fits your locations, and get a support team that actually picks up. Adding or replacing screens? LG screens from WAND include a 3-year LG factory warranty, with extended coverage options available.
